ANDY POV
“Room service! Mr Purdy ordered food for this suite?” said a blushing maid as she walked into the room that me and Ashley shared for our stay here. “Where would you like me to leave this? Is over here okay?” placing the trolley of food by the TV set and the mini bar.
“Yeah, that’s cool thank you” smiled Ashley, as he arose from his chair by the window to go and tip the young lady for her kindness toward them. After handing the maid a chunk of money both of us had put together for her last night, Ashley lent forward and kissed her on her rosy cheek. She smiled at him and thanked him for his generosity and walked out the room.
“Always the woman charmer,” I laughed as I went to go see what Ashley had decided we would eat for breakfast. I looked over the choices and picked up a plate of eggs, bacon, sausage, baked beans and toast.
“Hey, she was lovely to us, so thought be nice back right? And by the way this isn’t really breakfast anymore, more like lunch; it’s nearly one o’clock man! We got to get to the venue at three, so we need to get ready.” Ash explained while he was grabbing his ‘breakfast’.

Of course, I decided to follow Ashley’s instructions and by half past two we met with the other three and we headed to the venue, but we kind of snuck in the back way so we didn’t get over run by fans. As much as we loved the BVB Army, man we were so late, and needed to work on the surprises we had in store for our army. They’re going to love it, just need to set up for this one.

Doors flung open. People gathered. It was show time. As the support band played, warming up the fans that had came out to see the show of a life time, I did my pre-show ritual. Smoke a cigarette, call mom and dad back home and chanted with the band and our team. The war paint had been applied, hair had been sorted, set list had been revised and they were ready. As the support had two more songs to play, Jinxx and CC poked their heads out by the side door.
“Oh my god! Have you seen that crowd! Dude I’m ready! Send me out there!” CC excitedly reported back.
“So good crowd?” Jake sarcastically asked to feed CC’s amusement more.
“Of course! Gosh the army really came out in size tonight, oh I do love this job, okay, think the other guys just finished up, you guys ready?” CC asked.The five of us silently waited in the door way, waiting for the sign to go.

Five. Four. Three. Two. One.

We took our places on stage, lights slowly lifting, the crowd in unison stared to scream at the top of the lungs. And why not feed their excitement? So I stared screaming back “BVB ARMY! ARE YOU READY?” the screams increased, “I SAID, BVB ARMY! ARE. YOU. READY?”
And then the guitars started to play, bass started to play and drums started to play. I then broke into song and then the audience began to sing the lyrics back. My voice filled the whole venue, and I knew this was my place. As I stared out to the audience, I noticed her...

Not going to lie, I had to look twice to make sure I wasn’t seeing things. Thank god, when we had written this song we left Jake that solo, or I would in big trouble.
“CC! Show us what you got!” I said in a quick thought through plan so that I could stare at her a little longer.
